[Verse 1] Found a key in my coat Didn’t know what it’d open A paper cup full of coins And a receipt half-folded You said, “Pick one and run” Like it meant something bigger So I took the odd little box From the back of the drawer [Pre-Chorus] And I’m laughing now At the shape of it all One tiny spark And the whole room falls [Chorus] Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches I was made for a wild little crash Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches One flick, and I’m gone like that (Like that) [Verse 2] There was dust on the lid And a scar on my knuckle I wore that night like a dare With my sleeves rolled up in trouble You said, “Don’t make me guess” But you loved every angle So I lit up the dark With my last good angle [Pre-Chorus] And I’m laughing now At the shape of it all One tiny spark And the whole room falls [Chorus] Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches I was made for a wild little crash Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches One flick, and I’m gone like that (Like that) [Bridge] If I burn, let it be fast If I call, then call me back I’ve been quiet all week Now I’m writing in the ash [Chorus] Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches I was made for a wild little crash Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches One flick, and I’m gone like that (Like that)
